Abstract
Consecutive layers of Ni(OH)2 and Co(OH)2 were electrodeposited on stainless steel current collectors for preparing charge storage electrodes of high specific capacity with potential application in hybrid supercapacitors. Different electrodes were prepared consisting on films of Ni(OH)2, Co(OH)2, Ni1/2Co1/2(OH)2 and layered films of Ni(OH)2 on Co(OH)2 and Co(OH)2 on Ni(OH)2 to highlight the advantages of the new architecture. The microscopy studies revealed the formation of nanosheets in the Co(OH)2 films and of particles agglomerates in the Ni(OH)2 films. Important morphological changes were observed in the double hydroxides films and layered films. Film growth by electrodeposition was governed by instantaneous nucleation mechanism. The new architecture composed of Ni(OH)2 on Co(OH)2 displayed a redox response characterized by the presence of two peaks in the cyclic voltammograms, arising from redox reactions of the metallic species present in the layered film. These electrodes revealed a specific capacity of 762 C g−1 at the specific current of 1 A g−1. The hybrid cell using Ni(OH)2 on Co(OH)2 as positive electrode and carbon nanofoam paper as negative electrode display specific energies of 101.3 W h g−1 and 37.8 W h g−1 at specific powers of 0.2 W g−1 and 2.45 W g−1, respectively.
Highlights
Consecutive layers of Ni(OH)[2] and Co(OH)[2] were electrodeposited on stainless steel current collectors for preparing charge storage electrodes of high specific capacity with potential application in hybrid supercapacitors
Interconnected Co(OH)[2] nanosheet films were prepared by constant potential electrodeposition[7] and single crystal Ni(OH)[2] nanoplatelet array films were deposited by hydrothermal method[8], displayed good charge storage capacity
Double Transition metal hydroxides (TMHs) have been reported as attractive solutions for preparing electrodes of increased charge storage capacity for hybrid supercapacitors because they present some advantages compared to the corresponding single TMHs1,9
Summary
Consecutive layers of Ni(OH)[2] and Co(OH)[2] were electrodeposited on stainless steel current collectors for preparing charge storage electrodes of high specific capacity with potential application in hybrid supercapacitors. The new architecture composed of Ni(OH)[2] on Co(OH)[2] displayed a redox response characterized by the presence of two peaks in the cyclic voltammograms, arising from redox reactions of the metallic species present in the layered film. These electrodes revealed a specific capacity of 762 C g−1 at the specific current of 1 A g−1. Double TMHs have been reported as attractive solutions for preparing electrodes of increased charge storage capacity for hybrid supercapacitors because they present some advantages compared to the corresponding single TMHs1,9. Their synergistic redox response occurs at approximately 0.2–0.4 V vs SCE20, resulting in enhanced charge storage capacity in the Ni-Co hydroxides
